As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Luo's figure disappeared into the divine light.
Old Lady Gongsun kowtowed deeply: "This old woman will certainly not fail the Mountain Goddess's trust!"
She stood up, turned around, and went back to her house.
Wang Wan had been waiting there for a while. When she saw her come in, he slowly walked forward.
Grandma Gongsun nodded and went straight to the inner room, where she opened a camphor wood chest that had been sealed for a long time.
Inside the box lay a set of indigo ethnic clothing, simple in style yet remarkably well-preserved, embroidered with intricate and exquisite cloud patterns in silver thread.
This was her favorite outfit when she traveled to the South China Sea.
Grandma Gongsun took off her coarse cloth clothes and solemnly changed into this indigo blue long dress.
Then, he sat down in front of a huge, life-size bronze mirror and looked at his clear reflection.
She picked up a comb and meticulously styled her full head of silver hair into a bun. Then, from her jewelry box, she took out one heavy silver hairpin after another and inserted them into her hair bun.
The person in the mirror seemed to have changed.
After being blessed by the mountain god during this period of nourishment, most of the wrinkles on her face have faded, and her skin has regained its luster and elasticity.
With this luxurious outfit, she no longer looks like a peasant woman at all; she is clearly a graceful and elegant noblewoman who looks to be only in her forties.
She stared at herself in the mirror, her eyes somewhat dazed, as if she had returned to those years when she was still a princess.
"Sister Gongsun, you look absolutely beautiful in this outfit..."
Wang Wan, who was standing next to her, stared wide-eyed.
She exclaimed in genuine admiration.
"When you were young, you must have been an absolutely stunning beauty who captivated the world!"
Grandma Gongsun snapped out of her daze, amused by her, and smiled, the frost in her eyes turning into tenderness.
"You little rascal, you've got such a sweet tongue."
She stood up, straightened her sleeves, and her expression became serious again.
"The Mountain Goddess has entrusted us with such an important task; we cannot delay it."
"Let's go."
Wang Wan nodded emphatically, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
As the two stepped out of the courtyard, Wang Wanxin had a thought, and a gleaming silver flying sword appeared out of thin air, hovering in mid-air, its blade humming.
"Sister Gongsun, please."
Without the slightest hesitation, Old Lady Gongsun firmly placed her foot on the sword.
Wang Wan followed closely behind, making a hand seal.
"rise!"
The flying sword transformed into a silver streak, carrying the two of them into the sky, instantly piercing through the clouds.
The biting wind was kept out by an invisible shield.
Grandma Gongsun stood on the sword, looking down at the rapidly receding sea of clouds and mountains below, her expression filled with emotion.
Seeing this, Wang Wan asked curiously.
"Sister Gongsun, when you were young, did you also come to this heaven and see such scenery?"
"Um."
Grandma Gongsun nodded, her gaze distant.
"I've been here."
She sighed softly.
Unfortunately, it's all in the past.
There was a hint of melancholy in her voice.
"I wonder if that child I met back then is still around..."
Wang Wan didn't ask any further questions, but simply pushed the speed of her flying sword to its limit.
Their figures moved through the air as fast as lightning, and with the teleportation arrays that had already been built at various strongholds in the desolate mountains, they had already crossed thousands of mountains and rivers in just over half a day.
A salty, humid sea breeze swept over me.
Below, a vast expanse of azure sea comes into view.
The sea is dotted with many islands of varying sizes.
These islands are shrouded in mist and filled with spiritual energy, resembling a fairyland overseas.
However, within this fairyland, there was a scene of everyday life.
Fishermen, their strong upper bodies bare, were vigorously casting large nets into the sea.
The pearl maiden with tanned skin took a deep breath and nimbly dived into the water, searching for precious pearls.
Groups of children, holding grilled fish skewered on branches, chased and played on the beach, their laughter ringing out.
A peaceful and prosperous scene unfolds.
Wang Wan piloted her flying sword, attempting to approach the largest island.
However, before they could fly close...
A slight tremor came from the air, and a transparent protective shield, invisible to the naked eye, suddenly appeared out of thin air.
The protective shield exuded a gentle yet firm power, steadily keeping them outside.
On the island's beach, two children holding grilled fish were playing around when one of them, with sharp eyes, inadvertently looked up.
He immediately widened his eyes, rubbed them hard, and then nudged his friend next to him with his elbow.
"Look! Look! In the sky!"
The other child looked in the direction he pointed and also saw Wang Wan and Granny Gongsun floating in mid-air, looking ethereal.
The smiles on the two children's faces vanished instantly, replaced by terror.
"It's an evil spirit from outside!"
One of the children screamed, dropped the grilled fish in his hand, and ran away.
"The evil spirits outside are here again! The evil spirits outside are here again!"
His shout instantly stirred up a huge wave of reactions.
On the beach, the ordinary people who witnessed this scene all changed their expressions.
"What? The evil spirits have returned?"
"Run!"
"Quickly! Go and inform the immortals on the island!"
The originally peaceful and tranquil scene instantly descended into chaos.
In a panic, everyone dropped what they were doing and scrambled to escape into the depths of the island.
It was as if Wang Wan and Old Lady Gongsun were some kind of monstrous flood.
Upon seeing this, both of them paused for a moment.
What happened to this fairy island?
